Effective conservation of amphibian populations requires the prediction of how amphibians
use and move through a landscape. Amphibians are closely coupled to their physical
environment. Thus an approach that uses the physiological attributes of amphibians,
together with knowledge of their natural history, should be helpful. We used Niche Mapper™
to model the known movements and habitat use patterns of a population of Western toads
(Anaxyrus (= Bufo) boreas) occupying forested habitats in southeastern Idaho. Niche …
